My father (r) said that Ahmed bin Idris narrated to them that Ya’qoub bin Yazid narrated to them… …from Mohammed bin Abi Umair that Mohammed al-Qibtti said that he heard Abu Abdullah عليه السلام saying: People disregarded the Prophet’s saying about Ali on that day in Ghadir Khumm and disregarded his saying on that day in the chamber of Ummu Ibrahim. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم felt pain in his leg and people came to visit him. Ali عليه السلام as well, came to see him, but people did not give him an opportunity to see the Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم due to their crowds. When the Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم noticed this thing, he said: O people, these are my household. You are disregarding them while I am alive among you. By Allah I swear, if I am no longer present among you, Allah shall never be absent. It is certainly that relief, rest, content, and glad tidings will be for him who follows, abide by, and submit to Ali as well as the successors who will come after him. It is incumbent upon me to include such individuals with my (right of) intercession, because they are my followers. "He who follows me will belong to me." I repeat this statement of Abraham because I belong to Abraham and Abraham belongs to me. My religion is the same as Abraham’s, my Sunna is the same as Abraham’s, and Abraham’s virtue is the same as mine. I, however, am preferable to him. This preference comes to support the saying of my Lord: "They were the offspring of one another. Allah is All-hearing and All-seeing. (3:34)"
